IN PARENTAL ALIENATION, ALL THE RULES FOR BLENDING YOUR FAMILY CHANGE.

THIS WORKSHOP GIVES YOU A NEW (AND MORE HOPEFUL!) FRAMEWORK TO FOLLOW.

I just wanted to thank you for the tools I needed. There’s barely any information on this topic and it’s been a real life changer for me. We still have a huge battle ahead with his ex and court and everything but this has been a light in all the darkness.

parental alienation is heartbreaking.
And we’re not gonna pretend like a workshop can change that.

Overnight, you’ve become the enemy… maybe even as quickly as between one visitation and the next. And no matter how much documentation you’ve collected, no one seems to actually believe that the ex is deliberately turning the kids against you. Hello, gaslighting!

Most of all, there’s no clear way to move forward. Do you believe your kid when they say they want nothing to do with you and just stop trying?

Or should you fight this bullshit with everything you’ve got?

EVEN A DECADE AFTER SURVIVING PARENTAL ALIENATION OURSELVES, WE DON’T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.

What we do have is a slew of tips, a stack of practical suggestions, and a whole lotta love sent your way — all wrapped up in one workshop.

Hi, we’re Dan & Maarit, the faces behind Blended Family Frappé! And involuntary experts in high conflict + parental alienation.

PARENTAL ALIENATION SHATTERED THE STEPFAMILY WE WERE TRYING TO BUILD.

One week, Dan’s daughter headed back to her mom’s house on transition day like usual — and the next time we saw her, she was like a completely different kid. A kid who wanted nothing to do with any of us. After weeks (okay, months) of research, I found out there was a name for wtf had just happened: parental alienation syndrome. Suddenly so many things made sense about the ongoing struggles we’d faced in trying to blend our family.

As much as I’d love to tell you that learning about parental alienation immediately helped us turn that ship around — that my stepdaughter went back to acting like her normal self and we all rode off into the sunset together —
…yeah, that’s not how our story went down.

We’re lucky enough to have a positive relationship with my stepdaughter these days; simultaneously, we’re all still recovering from the effects of parental alienation— and will continue healing for the rest of our lives. The impact of alienation runs soul-deep. But there’s still hope!

WITH THE RIGHT STRATEGIES + A FRESH PERSPECTIVE, PARENTAL ALIENATION DOESN’T HAVE TO FEEL LIKE A LIFE SENTENCE.

I wanted to thank you (and Dan!) for sharing so much about your parental alienation experiences. I got a lot of valuable insights from the workshop and I know others did too. I really feel like you sharing your pain can save us from some of our own. Bless you for that.

IN THIS WORKSHOP, WE'LL CALL OUT THE PARENTAL ALIENATION PROBLEMS THAT NO ONE ELSE TALKS ABOUT:

➡️ Why documentation alone won’t save you (plus tips for effectively documenting parental alienation in ways the court won’t reject)

➡️ The real work that’s gotta get done to fight alienation — work that’s got nothing to do with documentation or the courts

➡️ How parental alienation contaminates every relationship in your family — including siblings & extended family

➡️ The way parental alienation interferes with a stepparent’s ability to effectively bond with their stepkid

➡️ The toll that fighting this seemingly interminable battle takes on your relationship — and how to protect yourselves

➡️ What “parenting to the authentic child” means… and how to actually do that

Most of all, Dan & I will talk about what worked for us and what didn’t, our biggest regrets about how we handled (or rather, mishandled) his daughter’s alienation, and what we wish we would’ve done instead.

Listened to the parental alienation workshop by @blendedfamilyfrappe and feeling so much less alone and more understood.
Thanks for your workshop on Alienation Maarit! Practical things of how to deal with alienation and your input, emotionally, of what it is like to go through this process. We have been through this for 15 years now and it just keeps going on and on and on.
